Brawn GP Marketing Communications Brief The Marketing Director of Brawn GP was tacitly approached to discuss online marketing and a CRM tool for the brand and obtained a brief for an agency client after several face-to-face meetings. Activity We conducted research on marketing strategies for the Formula One teams and proposed ideas to the Marketing Director on achieving an increase in member registrations. A meeting was then arranged with an agency partner to respond to the brief. Result An agency working with the Chesamel team was invited to pitch for the business prior to the recent Mercedes take over.

19. Extreme Group Marketing Communications Brief The Extreme Group is an international sports and lifestyle company with more than 15 diversified brands. We identified an opportunity with their fashion business that eventually led to a complete PR and marketing brief to integrate online and offline communications across all brands. Activity Our aim was to facilitate 2 face-to-face meetings between the MD of Extreme, the Marketing Director and a full service agency with an international network. We were present in both meetings alongside the Directors from the agency to discuss how the brief would be answered and delivered. This strengthened the rapport between all parties. Result The Extreme Group agreed in principle to award the business to our agency partner and it was the first time the company had outsourced its marketing communications.

Activity We wrote a brief for an agency client to convey the challenges facing the sales and marketing strategy for Maxtrack’s range of products. The key issue was securing retail agreements and promoting events to young action sports enthusiasts.
